Thanks for the early QOTD Karla! Good luck with the fund-raising event!
Today's Question(s):
Wow, I can't believe it, I actually met someone who slept with a Beatle. No names, no pack drill (but it wasn't John Lennon)!
Bonus Question:
What was the last thing you saw that someone had that made you say
" OOOO I want one !!!!! " ?
Hmmm, the older I get the less that happens... in fact I can't remember the last time it happened.
Did you get it ?
Was it all you hoped for ?
Extra Credit Question:
Where were you when John Lennon was shot ? As I write this, I'm watching a TV prog about his death... and was trying to remember where I was. At the time I figured it was one of those things I'd always remember (like I still remember where I was when JFK was assassinated even though I was only 14). But, guess what, I actually can't remember. I think I was at work.
Do you remember what you were doing when you found out ? If I was at work, I'd have most likely been analysing stats or writing a report.
Just for Fun:
How many Christmas/Holiday cards have you received ? Just one so far - it seems to be that people in the US start with the Christmas stuff earlier than we do here.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
